Re: External Documents
Jan, good advice, but don't forget that, SOMETIMES, the latest revision of a document (internal or external) is NOT the appropriate revision.
Instead of latest and greatest, I would say the appropriate and applicable version of the document.
Sounds like a Microsoft issue.
Its not just customer specs, etc. that can fall into that category. I have found when machine manuals, schematics, etc. were a part of the documentation system, they were
finally easily retrieved by the departments that needed them. Prior to any attempt to control them, they were in a pile of dust and oil on top of machines, in tool boxes, or just gone. You might find a quality system minimalist that can develop a justification not to do it, but I do not recommend living like that. There is a better way.
